Okay, I've come up with this phrase from the Copyright Board of Canada's website: The amendment to the Act legalized private copying of sound recordings of musical works onto audio recording media - i.e., the copying of pre-recorded music for the private use of the person who makes the copy.
So, are you claiming that giving the copies that you made to your friends means that you are still the person using them? Because I can't seem to find anything in there that backs up your claim.
You must have missed the early 90s then, because the RIAA and their ilk were raising a ruckus about exactly this. That formerly popular asshole Garth Brooks even made a lot of noise about how used CDs were going to make him starve...Then there's that whole recent 30-day waiting period in Florida that was just posted here a few weeks ago...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this exactly how jhymn and other similar programs leave your files? IIRC, jhymn will remove the DRM from the file, but still leave your AppleID, etc in the file. It seems that the only people complaining about this are the ones who want to pirate music.
ADSL modem + private network + set-top box.
Must have taken them months to independantly discover this combination.
No, they discovered this back in 95, but instead of moving forward with it, they killed it after the trial run. I was part of that trial run and I have to say, it was pretty nice.
How likely does the grand prize winner(s) need an OLPC laptop?
If you're taking part in this competition, chances are very good that you support the mission of the OLPC program. If you win and receive an actual unit, it just makes further development and testing for the platform that much easier for you. It's more about supporting the goal than it is about the payout (hey, isn't that what OSS is generally about?).
Well, there's always walking, which it seems hardly anyone even wants to think about doing anymore. As for biking, a utility bike is a good place to start. Within biking distance? It's incredibly easy to bike 10 to 15 miles to work, and it usually takes about the same amount of time as it does to drive or commute if you're dealing with an urban area. Living without a car is actually fairly easy to do if you put your mind to it.
I know this is heresy around these parts, but the other requirements of notes/annotations are met with the full version of Acrobat. I'm sure some of the free PDF readers also support notes and comments, but Acrobat is what I have here (comes lumped in with the Adobe Creative Suite).
There is a way to tell by looking at the spec sheet of a monitor. If it says 16.7 million, it's an 8-bit display. If it says 16.2 million, it's 6-bits with dithering.
You're focusing on the software end. It's the hardware that isn't capable of displaying 16.7 million colors, although you'd be very hard-pressed to tell (I can only see slight banding in very specific cases on my 6-bit LG monitor).
If this goes through then it opens the door to lawsuits against nearly all LCD manufacturers, since most displays these days (except for the highest end ones) are 6-bit with dithering...
I recently watched a few people get into a flamefest on another site because someone made the comment that "America is tied for first for the highest mortality rate." It was great watching all the "America: Love it or leave it" people come out saying there was no way that was possible and calling the guy a troll and telling him that America was the greatest country so it couldn't be true, etc. None of them seemed to be able to figure out that the guy was saying "everyone dies". : p
I was going to make the same comment, but you beat me to it. I have a degree in Geology, and I remember my Historical Geology teacher telling us about how when he was in school nearly all of his professors ridiculed the idea of plate tectonics. However (according to him), he dismissed them as fools since the theory seemed to fit in so nicely with the available evidence. Just goes to show that the most important thing you can learn in school is to evaluate the data yourself.
And the moment they add any sort of data loss guarantee, they'll start getting support calls from Sally in Accounting because she "accidentally" clicked the delete button, then confirmed twice that she really wanted to do it...

Even selling used CDs hasn't come under fire.

Just curious, which country are you from? And can you point me to the laws or legal rulings in your home country that back up your claim?

The principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. For those that didnt know.
Since you didn't post this as an AC I think we all know where you stand. : p
I'm waiting for the Grapefruit Zune, because then I'll know that the squirting feature works like it should...

Also, I get that their goal is to have 'normal' programs run cross platform
"Cross platform" as long you're running an x86 processor.
Wii Sports with the foot-operated power generator, anyone?
Virtual loom?

Zonk's just warming up for his All-Dupes Weekend...
Funny, huge assholes are just about the only thing I can reliably find at Best Buy...
In the age of the Internet, cracks can almost instantly become widespread.
Alright trolls, here's your once-in-a-lifetime chance to have your goatse posts be ontopic.

Again, Ann Summers is English, so Cheddar would be more appropriate, since that is English also.
Stinkier than stilton?
Now all we will have is three color displays, and we won't have any numbers to guage them with.
That's why I prefer print. At least there you get FOUR colors!

I wish you the best of luck with that. Let us know when you get close to finishing...

Which is what makes it boilerplate...
